Karen wanted a change. She had been making silver earrings for quite a while at several of our workshops. So she switched to gold instead. The two pairs are so pretty and festive, I hope Karen will wear them for the holidays. For the first pair, she used laser cut gold plated filigree findings to go with sparkly purple beads.

Her second pair has red glass drop beads coupled with millefiore ovals. Sometimes changing the way you do things invigorates the design and creativity processes!
